Active concepts.
Now expanding beyond Oslo.

Each restaurant has its own kitchen, identity and team — connected by one family's standards for hospitality, ingredient sourcing and service. Family hospitality in Norway since 1982 — and in 2026, for the first time, beyond the capital.

Expansion · food hall + first city outside Oslo

A foodhall counter on Karl Johan. A flagship in Bergen.

Beyond the three Oslo dining rooms, Baljits operates a counter at Paleet Foodhall on Karl Johan — and in Q4 2026 opens New Delhi Bergen at Kjøttbasaren, the first restaurant from the group outside the capital and the first time the New Delhi name travels to a second Norwegian city.

Baljits — Paleet Foodhall

A casual, fast-paced expression of the family kitchen inside Paleet Foodhall on Karl Johan — Baljit's signatures translated for a central-Oslo food hall: counter service, sharp execution, the same sourcing standards as the flagship.

Concepts created by Baljit · legacy

Chapters that built the range — from streetfood to flagship dining.

Legacy concepts that proved the Singh family's ability to build more than traditional Indian dining rooms. From urban streetfood to personal modern-Indian rooms, each one is part of the wider Oslo story.

Legacy · Streetfood

Schweigaards gate · Grønland · 2010s

Holy Cow

A streetfood chapter in the Singh family's wider Oslo story — casual, fast, affordable and full of flavour. Holy Cow brought urban Indian streetfood into Oslo's casual dining scene near Teaterplassen, and was reviewed by Aftenposten in 2018 as «hipt, godt og rimelig», described as part of the renewal of Grønland. Holy Cow's public profile positioned the concept as Indian Streetfood: Dine In, Take Away & Catering.

Legacy · Modern Indian

Listen to Baljit

Created by Baljit in 2018 and operated for seven years on Solli plass before being passed on to new ownership in 2025. A more personal, modern and urban expression of Indian food in Oslo — and an important chapter in the Baljit story.
